In the U.S.S.R. he was post humously "purged" under Stalin, and he has not been totally "rehabilitated" since then. Indeed, Philip Pomper's biographical and analytical work is the first compre hensive book~length study of this important figure in any language. Lavrov's early career reflected his gentry origins and his development as an extra ordinary polymath. During the intellectual debates of the 1850s in St. Petersburg he began to formulate the philosophical bases for his later revolutionary theories. In the 1860s he associated with student insurgents and engaged in radical publishing ventures ~ activities for which he was eventually arrested and sentenced to exile in a northern province. Shortly after escaping to Paris with the help of friends, Lavrov began his career as a radical emigré publicist. He was best known as a theoretician for his Historical Letters, which were an important influence on revolutionary populism. Later Lavrov became editor of Vpered!, the most important Russian socialist periodical of that era. In this context, Lavrov's theories exerted a broad and deep influence on revolutionary groups in Russia. Professor Pomper, using a wide range of sources, including archival materials, traces the history of Lavrov's revolutionary pursuits from his role as a prophet of the preparationist strategy of the early 1870s through his involvement in the strategic debates and innovations between the mid 1870s and 1900. Of central importance are Lavrov's concessions to Bakuninism and his eventual acceptance of terrorism as an instrument of revolution. Lavrov was a member of the Russian gentry who promoted the cause of democracy, an intellectual who felt he must prepare the self~liberation of the masses. The paradoxes of his development as a revolutionary thinker were the result of a wish to reconcile a number of disparate view points. A syncretic and synthetic thinker, Lavrov reflected in his ideas all the major intellectual trends of nineteenth~century Russia. Professor Pomper fully examines the dynamic relationship between Lavrov's personality, his philosophy, and his affiliation with revolutionary socialism in general and with the Russian revolutionary movement in particular., Books<
